Are we putting who it's from on the SS? I've been in a couple where you do and a couple where you don't so I just wondered whether to put from xoxo on the tag or put nothing on it
Didn't put my real name on mine - and that's all I'm saying :rotfl::rotfl:
Flirtini - is there anyone who is asking what you want for xmas? That way you can have your hair-loving shampoo etc and not feel guilty
have some IN's from the Avon lady
Hair dye - Can't remember what colour but will be using it this week before we visit MIL & FIL so will review and give more details thenIt came with ...
Free Avon Advance Techniques Shampoo and
Free Avon Advance Techniques Conditioner.
I've been cracking on with my wrapping this weekend - only have OH's to do - and no room under the tree :rotfl:
Hope everyone's well :xmastree:0 -
A rare makeup UU Natural colllection clear mascara. Didnt need to buy again there was a new one in the stash!Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Evening Ladies
I'm just checking in to report a purchase....I've treated myself to a Mitchem Deo stick as it was on offer for £2 in ASDA today. I'm going to bypass the naughty step though as I've just opened the last deo in my stash so consider this was necessary
I've also used my Pantene sachets as sent by And but will not be buying as although I have very fine hair I found these products made it really greasy:(
****Sorry I keep missing you And to do your survey but I'm in every evening this week except WednesdayLooking forward to chatting

I'll try and remember to ring tomorrow. Thanks for the quick review and your honesty! I'm using that one myself, I like it very much, and like you I also have very fine hair but it didn't go greasy. Some positive reports on the coloured range so far and also on the Normal/Thick.
The vouchers I sent are valid for all the Pantene Pro-V range, if it goes on spec. offer before they run out they could prove useful for someone in the family with the right hair type.
Small shuffle to the naughty step as I couldn't resist an Avon vanilla whipped body cream 200ml, so that's an IN. I love vanilla and it's a seasonal scent. I'm a sucker for anything Christmassy, but haven't seen an affordable cranberry BB- other than Poundland's 50 ml one.
The other IN was a cinnamon and orange Avon Foot Works foot cream. I'd bought one but again this was a seasonal special, a gorgeous scent and I'd no other 'just for feet' foot cream left. Any cream does the job, tbh, but having used up so many OOD face and body creams the feet needed a little treatErma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

Yes those Osprey goodies are lush. We went into a different branch of TK Max at weekend and I saw my bag in purple as well. Think I'm glad i got it in red.
My SS gift has been sent.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
